I have been doing architecture and design for small to medium sized projects for the last 10 years in many languages. I love architecture and design work, especially if it involves domain-modeling.

Beau got to the issue super fast, showed me what I needed to know by going directly to the codex. Now I understand how to avoid this kind of thing in the future.

For over 4 years, the website for That Podcast with Beau and Dave was a static site using Sculpin. As the original creator of Sculpin, this wasn't a super easy decision for Beau. Still, there were things that both Beau and Dave wanted to do with the site that wasn't easily done with a static site.
This project's goal was to transition from the old static site to a new Symfony 4 application. Bonus points for not disrupting the podcast players by messing up the GUID or the RSS feed.

Sculpin is a static site generator written in PHP. It converts Markdown files, Twig templates and standard HTML into a static HTML site that can be easily deployed.
I started this project but have since turned it over to another team to maintain.
